First day with the HK 416 D 22lr. The build quality is excellent and feels like a real Modern Sporting Rifle not a toy. Upper, lower, and hand guard are all aluminum. I wish the faux bolt release actually functioned like it does on the Tippman model. The trigger is heavy but smooth.
At an indoor 50 yard range I used a variety of ammo with no hiccups or failure of anything at all. 30 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity (used these to zero the scope); 30 rounds Stingers; 20 rounds of Mini Mag hollow points; and 30 rounds of Aguila .22 Super Extra. The biggest concern I had was the ability to eat a variety of ammo with zero drama. This is no longer a concern. I just have to do my part keeping the rifle cleaned and properly oiled.
I had a Monstrom S330P prism scope and riser to throw on it. Yeah, I know cheap chyna scope but I had it on hand. This soft shooting .22lr didn’t warrant a battle ready ACOG. Polymer backup sights were included with the rifle.
So other than the non functional bolt release I like everything about this setup.
Oh, the HK magazines are really well made. A little pricey but worth every penny.
